A CAR was donated to Warrington Collegiate – by the manufacturer – to enable motor vehicle students to practice their skills.
Vauxhall Motors, Ellesmere Port, donated the 2001 Vauxhall Astra Diesel. The collegiate already has a number of donated vehicles, but this is the first directly from a manufacturer.
Students and apprentices from more than 30 schools study motor vehicle and repair at the collegiate and facilities include a tyre bay, engine strip down area and a diagnostic area.
Motor vehicle lecturer Roy Bywater said: “The engine and gearbox will be taken out and fitted back onto the sub-frame so we can move it around the workshop. This will give students the opportunity to see how the latest diesel engine is constructed.”

Will they do role play and practice tutting and telling the owner that all his brakes-pads need changing – not to mention the shock absorbers?
